At least $20,000 or so. Fuel, transport, crew, warming up the engine to temp before starting it, old wet-weather tires. Probably more, to be honest.
Why? Because it is fun. Red Bull has enough money to do whatever stupid thing they wish. This made me smile, it didn't cost me a penny & I didn't have to swill a Red Bull.
